Project Overview
Illuminating Gandhinagar: Focus Lighting & Fixtures Enhance Cityscape for Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2026.
As Gandhinagar prepares to host the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2026, the city takes a significant step toward permanent urban beautification. In an initiative led by the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation, Focus Lighting & Fixtures Ltd. has been appointed to install permanent decorative lighting at the CH-0 Circle, bringing a transformative glow to the city’s landscape.
What did the client want to achieve?
Gandhinagar, being the State Capital, hosts topmost VIP dignitaries, various events, and various forums. Apart from standard lighting, Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation came up with the idea of doing urban beautification while using infotainment-entertainment together. To engage the entire class of the crowd, and all age groups. Including children and youth. Uniquely using Architectural and infrastructure lighting.
Scope of work your company was involved in
Attractive Garden Elements are as follows:
1) 9 Nos. Glowing Planet in both the Garden area
2) Glowing National Birds: Peacock
3) Glowing National Animal: Tiger
4) Glowing Wild & Forest Animal: Lion, Dinosaur, Giraffe, Gorilla, Rhino, Zebra, Horse, Elephant, Deer Family
5) Innovative Lighting Pole in the theme of the National Flag Colour
6) To increase the beautification of the existing pond, installed a Glowing Flamingo
7) To increase the Tree illumination, installed a Butterfly in existing Trees
8) Other Glowing Elements like Glowing Trunk, Glowing Rose, and Glowing Bamboos
What Key Challenges were faced?
In this project, the glowing light illumination had to be carefully designed to preserve the integrity and beauty of the natural garden. One of the main challenges was minimising disruption to the surrounding flora and fauna while still achieving the desired visual impact. We addressed this by selecting low-intensity, warm-colored LED lights that blend with the natural environment and reduce light pollution. To avoid harming plant life, all lighting elements were positioned with minimal ground disturbance. Fixtures were installed using non-invasive mounting methods, such as stake lights and custom brackets, which eliminated the need for deep excavation or permanent anchoring. We also used shielded and directional lighting to prevent unwanted spill and glare, ensuring that only intended areas were illuminated.
Waterproofing and Fixture Durability: Challenge: Ensuring lighting fixtures are fully waterproof (IP68 rated) and resistant to corrosion or algae buildup.
Glare and Light Pollution: Avoiding glare on the water surface and preventing light spill into surrounding wildlife habitats.Even Light Distribution: Achieving uniform illumination without visible hotspots or overly dark areas.
How were those challenges resolved?
Through Technical Excellence and Innovation.
The project presented unique challenges, demanding lighting solutions beyond traditional RGB methods. Focus Lighting & Fixtures, in collaboration with lighting consultant White Energy Pvt. Ltd., successfully implemented advanced DMX technology to achieve accurate colour fidelity. We achieved the colours of our national flag as a symbolic representation instead of conventional RGB. Maintaining uniformity across double-head poles was a challenge, but the team’s technical prowess ensured a seamless and harmonious lighting effect.
